3 Reasons Why God's Judgment Should Not be Overlooked


                                                     
God’s judgment is not something most Christians want to think about. We don’t put verses with God’s judgment on sticky notes, we don’t try to commit these Scripture verses to memory, and most of us would not choose for our pastor to preach on this subject.
But, as The Gospel Coalition writer Erik Raymond notes in his article “Are You Allergic to God’s Judgment?” the Bible has a lot to say on this subject.

Does Your “Fear of Missing Out” Distract You from Christ?


                                                                     
Do you have a bucket list? Are all of your life goals wrapped up in it? Or do you have a fear of missing out, #FOMO for some? Most people have a sense of adventure, and everyone’s adventure drive including places and things to do will look different. Not everyone will want to jump off a cliff into the sea.
But there is a sense in us, a longing for something else…and it can be easily mistaken as a longing for adventure. Don’t get me wrong; adventure in of itself is not a bad thing. It’s when we place adventure, our bucket list, or FOMO above our longing for Christ—our true home—that we get into trouble. Not a slap on the wrist, but truly missing out in this short time we have here.

The Difference between Love and 'Condemnation with a Smile'


                                                             

“Love the sinner, hate the sin.”
If I’m being completely honest, I’ve never much liked this term. It always sounded so flippant, so condescending, as though I were making an excuse after saying something particularly rude. Yet, over the years, I’ve heard this phrase come up in Christian circles with surprising regularity. We seem to use it whenever we're talking about Muslims, or atheists, or even our political rivals. When I mentioned this fact to a non-Christian friend of mine, he simply laughed and called it, “condemnation with a smile.”

Trusting God when he does not give you what you want


                                            
There is a well-known Christian phrase that says “God is good,” to which others will then respond “all the time.” The call and response continues with “All the time,” followed by “God is good.”
It’s such a simple phrase, but it gets at the heart of what we as Christians believe about God--that no matter what our circumstances, no matter what life situations we find ourselves in--God is faithful, and He can be trusted.
This is core Christian belief, but it is much harder to take ahold of and live out.

HOW TO PRAY WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO PRAY.


                                             
Sometimes, I just don’t want to pray.
There, I admitted it. I was raised in a Christian home, I accepted Jesus at a young age, and I’ve never strayed far from my faith or my church, but there still are many days I just don’t want to pray and many days that I never pray a word.
Sometimes, it’s because I feel ashamed of sin in my life, or because God feels distant. Sometimes, I just don’t feel like I have anything to say, or I don’t really want to address what’s going on in my life and talk to God about it. Other times, it’s because I get too caught up in all the busyness of my life, and I forget to prioritize prayer.

why is christmas celebrated on 25 december


                                                             

Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God.

The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. The 'Christ-Mass' service was the only one that was allowed to take place after sunset (and before sunrise the next day), so people had it at Midnight! So we get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to Christmas.

Christmas is now celebrated by people around the world, whether they are Christians or not. It's a time when family and friends come together and remember the good things they have. People, and especially children, also like Christmas as it's a time when you give and receive presents!

what happens when christmas fall on a sunday


                                                       



Nearly 9 out of 10 Protestant senior pastors say their churches plan to hold services on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, as both fall on a Sunday, according to a recent survey from Nashville-based LifeWay Research.
More than 7 in 10 Protestant senior pastors say their churches plan to hold Christmas Eve services. And more than a few will be open on New Year’s Eve.
Christmas is o­­ne of the busiest times of the year especially at churches, with many churches having extra Christmas Eve services and special programs,” said Scott McConnell, executive director of LifeWay Research. “If Christmas falls on Monday through Saturday, churches might be closed on December 25—but almost never on a Sunday.”
The Christmas season has become a major outreach focus for many churches, with more than half of Americans saying they visit church for Christmas. Many of those who don’t go usually to church are open to an invitation during the holidays, according to previous LifeWay Research studies.

In the world I live in today, and as a young fellow who really do not know about the goodies, and the hardship that are faced in real life I really do not know. so I decided to ask great men who have read above the unreadable, who have research the anatomy of living and they came up with something though similar but similar almost similar in fact to cut the story short the same.
